will be had by all. The band is also available to play at accordion

can hear the sound if they wish.

Get Reel offers 'Customised Ceilidhs for All Occasions' - we usually
try to work with clients to meet their individual requirements. We can
either provide a majority of simple dances (with repeats!) for beginners or
lots of variety for the older hands We can either do our own calling or are
equally happy to work with an outside caller. We are also happy to mix in
listening sets / songs in order to take the pressure off the feet. We have a
modular PA which fits all types of likely ceilidh venue.

From Aberdeen's Beach Ballroom to the St. Andrew's Ball, Bangkok, Graham Geddes
and his Scottish Dance Band have played for dancers all round the world.
Twenty-one years' experience, twelve of those as resident band at the Beach
Ballroom, have given the band a professional polish which shines through their music,
ne it Scottish Country, Golden Oldies or contemporary beat. Now working freelance,
this leading band makes many radio, television and live appearances. So great is
the band's popularity in Shetland that they have twice been invited to play with
the Jarl Squad at the Up Helly Aa, a great accolade. In the willage hall, or at the
Royal Albert Hall, the pithy pizzazz of Graham Geddes and his Scottish Dance Band
ensures an excellent evening's entertainment.

Our band has Ian and Meryl Thomson on fiddles and Cas Sloan on keyboard. We play music
ranging from 1700-2012 and include a lot of original Scottish fiddle music in our
repertoire.

We play for Scottish Country Dancing, Regency, Victorian, Edwardian and other Historical
Dances, weddings, parties, ceilidhs, reeling dances and other functions. We can also
provide a caller if required.
